Plans and Description op the State Normal School of New Jerseit. 

The buildings occupied by the State Normal School of New Jersej', are two in 
•K number, one of which is occupied exclusively by the Normal School proper, and 
the other by both the Normal School and its adjunct, the Model School, but princi- 
4 "^pally by the latter. The two were built and furnished at about $55,000. 

' The plans are drawn on a scale of thirty-two feet to the inch. Each building 
'•is in the form of a Greek Cross, the main edifice running nearly north and south 
with wings or projections on the east and west. The front wing of the Normal 
School on the east, terminates in two towers, 10 by 10 feet. 

The great objects secured in the adoption of these plans, are the highest degree 
of convenience and adaptation to the purposes of a school for both sexes, symme- 
try, tastefuluess, economy in cost of construction, with ample facilities for lighting 
and ventilation, the ingress and egress of pupils, together with a full supply of 
water in the proper place, and for every desirable purpose. 

The rooms are all large, air}', and commodious. The uses of each apartment 
will be understood by reference to the numbers indicated on the diagrams, and 
the accompanying explanation. Eaoh building is heattd by four cf Boynton's 
first class furnaces, and ventilated by means of air passages leading from each 
room to a large chamber for the puipose in the attic, under the ventilator. These 
air chambers are heated by stoves, thus creating a forced draught from each apart- 
ment to the ventilator. 

The furniture is of the latest and most approved character, and there are fifteen 
hundred feet of the best Vermont and Lehigh wall slates.

CIUCULAE. 



The New Jersey State Normal School establisliment comprehends 
the following : 

I. The Normal School proper, located at Trenton, the Capital, with 
its adjunct, the Experimental or Model School, which serves the pur- 
pose of a school of practice and observation for the pupil-teachers of 
the Normal School. 

II. The Farnum Preparatory School, located at Beverly, on the Del- 
aware River, twenty miles south of Trenton and fifteen north of Phila- 
delphia, with which places it is connected by the Camden and Amboy 
Railroad. 

THE NORMAL SCHOOL AND ITS ADJUNCT THE MODEL SCHOOL 

Occupy two of the most commodious, tasteful and elegant buildings 
yet erected for educational purposes in this country. These edifices 
were both designed by the Principal, with special reference to the 
wants and objects of the Institution, and were drawn under his direc- 
tion by a competent architect of this city. Besides embodying all the 
necessary recitation, assembly, lecture and cloak rooms, they are sup- 
plied with all the modern improvements, such as gas, water, furnaces, 
wall slates, and the most approved styles of school furniture of every 
description. Nothing is omitted that can contribute to the comfort, 
convenience and efficiency of a school of the most comprehensive scope 
and of the hi2;hest order. 



THE no:rmal school. 



This Institution was established by an act of the Legislature, passed 
February ninth, eighteen hundred and fifty-five, for the instruction and 
practice of teachers in the science of Education and the art of instruct- 
ing and governing the Public Schools of this State. Its organization 
and course of training are especially adapted to the accomplishment of 
this high object. 

CONDITIONS OP ADMISSION.

questionable moral character.

RATIO OP REPRESENTATION. 

By the terms of the act establishing the State Normal School, the 
number of pupils is limited to two hundred and forty, and '' each county 
is entitled to fill three times as many seats in the school as it has rep- 
resentatives in the Legislatui-e." In case any county is not fully rep- 
resented, candidates may be admitted from other counties on sustaining 
the requisite examination, and producing a proper certificate as above. 

EXAMINATION FOR ADMISSION. 

Candidates will be examined by the Faculty immediately on presen- 
tation of the certificate before mentioned. This examination will be 
both oral and written, and will determine the question both of the ad- 
mission and classification of the candidate. 

DECLARATION OF INTENTION. 

Each candidate admitted, is required to sign the following Declara- 
tion and Agreement, which document is a permanent record with the 
Institution : 

NEW JERSEY STATE NORMAL SCHOOL. 

The undersigned, having received certificates of admission as pupils 
in the New Jersey State Normal School, hereby declare thas it is their 
intention to engage in the employment of teachers in the common 
schools of this State, for at least two years, and that their object in re- 
sorting to this school is the better to qualify themselves for that respon-

sible duty. The undersigned also hereby agree to report themselves 
semi-annually, in writing, for the aforesaid period of two years, to the 
Principal of the Normal School, in case they enjoy its privileges for 
one term or more. 

COURSE OF STUDY AND TRAINING. 

The following is the course of study, arranged into Departments, 
without regard to the order in which the various branches will be pur- 
sued, or to the length of time which may be devoted to them : 

I. English Language. — The Elementary Sounds. Spelling, Defini- 
tion and Analysis of Words. Reading and Elocution. English Gram- 
mar, including the Analysis of the Sentence and Sentential Structure. 
Composition, including Rhetoric and Criticism. The Art of Debate, 
including Parliamentary Law. 

II. Graphics. — Penmanship and Book-keeping. Object Drawing. 
Map Drawing. Mechanical Drawing. 

III. Mathematics. — Oral or Mental Arithmetic. Written Arithmetic. 
Practical Mathematics. Algebra, (elements.) Geometry, (elements.) 
Mathematical Geography and use of Globes, including also the Ele- 
ments of Astronomy. 

IV. Natural Science. — Descriptive and Physical Geography. Hu- 
man and Comparative Physiology. Elements of Natural Philosophy. 
Elements of Chemistry. 

V. Ethics, etc. — Moral Philosophy. Natural Theology. Constitu- 
tion of the United States and New Jersey. School Laws of New Jer- 
sey. History of the United States. 

VI. Theory and Practice of Teaching. — Intellectual Philosophy. 
The Study of School Systems. Lectures on Education and the Details 
of Teaching. Practice in Model School. Vocal Music throughout 
the course. 

This course is to be thoroughly investigated. The pupil will be ex- 
pected to study the subject in its logical order, to master and repro- 
duce it in clear, methodical and well chosen language of his own. He 
will be subjected to the most rigid criticism in respect to thoroughness 
in the investigation of a subject, as well as accuracy, method, clearness 
and force in its delivery. He will be presumed to understand nothing 
that he is unable with readiness and precision to embody in good lan- 
guage. He will be taught to observe and note the methods of his 
instructor, and to learn from his example the best modes of conducting 
the education of others, while himself undergoing the process. 



14 THE NORMAL SCHOOL. 

OBSERVATION AND PRACTICE IN THE MODEL SCHOOL. 

The Model School is composed of pupils of the ages usually found in 
the public schools of the State — from six to sixteen years. Each pupil 
of the Normal School will spend at least two weeks in observation and 
practice in the Model School for each term of his connection with the 
former, except the first term, which will be devoted to the elementary 
studies. He will thus be compelled to subject his theories to the test 
of experiment, under the eye of an accomplished master — the Superin- 
tendent of the Model School. He will also take part in the adminis- 
tration of a well-organized school, and will thus learn the inestimable 
advantage of system and method in his attempts to educate the young. 

LECTURES ON THE SCIENCE OF EDUCATION AND ART OF TEACHING. 

These lectures will be frequent and will be very practical. They 
will comprehend the development of the principles op education, 
and the best modes of their application in the organization, discipline 
and instruction of schools. The best modes of securing the co-operation 
and sympathy of parents in the work of education, will also be dis- 
cussed ', school systems will be examined, and the laws pertaining to 
schools in this State will be made familiar to all. 

privileges of pupils. 

There is no charge for tuition on the part of those who become pupil- 
teachers. The use of such books as the Normal School possesses, and 
of all needful apparatus is free. Such books as may not be in the Li- 
brary of the Institution, together with all needful stationery, will be 
furnished at the expense of the pupil. A Professional Library, com- 
posed of standard works on education and the details of teaching, will 
be free of access to all. 

discipline. 

No school can be efficient and profitable without a perfect state of 
discipline. Good order must necessarily be regarded as the primary 
condition of all efi"ective instruction. The government of the Normal 
School will be such as to afford a model worthy of imitation in the 
public schools of the State. It will be firm and impartial, and yet svich 
as to appeal to the self-respect of the pupil. Prompt dismissal will 
follow all immoral acts and unteacherlike deportment. 



THE NORMAL SCHOOL. 15 

REGULARITY AND PROMPTNESS OF ATTENDANCE. 

The embarrassing and disorganizing effects of absence and tardiness 
in our schools, constitute the most serious evils with, which they have 
to contend. Pupils cannot be taught unless they are pre&ent, and they 
cannot be properly taught unless they are constantly present. No 
teacher can secure regularity of attendance unless he himself sets the 
example. In the Normal School, therefore, no absence or tardiness 
can be allowed, except in extreme cases, of which the Faculty must be 
the sole judge. No trivial cause can excuse a violation of this whole- 
some regulation. All absence must be on leave, pre-obtained. 

TERMS AND VACATIONS. 

The fall terms will hereafter open on the first Monday in September, 
and continue twenty-one weeks, followed by a vacation of three weeks. 
The spring terms will begin on the third Monday of February, and 
continue twenty weeks, followed by a vacation of eight weeks. There 
will be no vacation at the holidays, except on Christmas and New Year 
days. 

BOARD. 

Grood board can be obtained in respectable private families at from 
two and a half to three dollars per week, including all but washing. 
The boarding houses are subject to such regulations as the Principal 
may from time to time establish. The pupils will also be visited at 
their boarding houses by members of the Faculty, and a watchful care 
will be exercised over them at all times. 

EXAMINATIONS. 

There will be public examinations at the close of each year, both in 
the Normal and Model Schools, which the public is invited to attend. 
A diploma will be awarded to those who give satisfactory evidence of 
thorough and accurate scholarship, combined with those other peculiar 
qualifications so essential to a successful teacher. 

PHYSICAL EDUCATION. ^ 

No system of education can meet the wants of our people that does 
"not address itself to the whole body and all the parts of human life." 



16 THE NORMAL SCHOOL. 

The health is to be preserved. The hody, as well as the mind, is to be 
trained, developed and strengthened. The severe and long-continued 
exercise of the mind, without a corresponding use of the body, is a per- 
petual warfare waged against the powers of life. Hence, regular and 
vigorous exercise in the open air will be required ; and it is hoped that 
special facilities will soon be provided for systematic and thorough phy- 
sical training for all who shall be admitted to the Normal School. 

VISITATION. 

The Normal School will be open to visitors during term time through 
all the regular session hours. Citizens and strangers are cordially in- 
vited to visit it at their convenience, and without ceremony. 

TOAVN SUPERINTENDENTS. 

Town. Superintendents are earnestly requested to recommend none 
but candidates of unimjpeacliahle moral character and of good ahilities, 
to the end that the energies of the Institution may not be wasted upon 
unworthy and incompetent individuals. The schools of the people de- 
mand the best talent and the highest character on the part of those who 
aspire to the responsible office of a teacher in them. 

GENERAL REMARKS. 

The demand for well qualified teachers is universal and pressing ; 
and all who, by diligence, industry and good character, attain, in the 
Normal School, that standard of excellence demanded by the educa- 
tional wants of the State, may be sure of ready and remunerative em- 
ployment on leaving the Institution. The Principal will devote special 
attention to the supply of teachers for schools, and schools for those 
teachers who are worthy of patronage. Advice will also be cheerfully 
given respecting plans for school houses, furniture, &c., to all who may 
desire information.

FAMUM PEEPARATOEY SCHOOL. 



The Farnum Preparatory School was opened on the sixth of October, 
eighteen hundred and fifty-six, and has recently completed its third 
term. It will be gratifying to the advocates and friends of an enlarged 
and generous scheme of public education, to learn of its early success, 
and of the unexampled favor with which the first Preparatory Normal 
School in the United States has been received by the people of New 
Jersey. About one hundred and forty pupils have been in attendance ] 
sixty of these form the Experimental Department, and reside in the 
borough of Beverly; both the Intermediate and Preparatory Depart- 
ments have representatives from various counties in the State. It is 
conceded that the Normal School i^ indispensable to any complete plan 
of public instruction ; the Preparatory School is a branch of the Nor- 
mal School, devoted to the same high purposes, and founded upon the 
same broad principles. 

NATURE AND OBJECTS OP THE SCHOOL. 

The primary design of the Farnum Preparatory School is : 

First — To perfect the instrumentalities of the State of New Jersey 
for the training and proper qualification of teachers for her public 
schools ; and. 

Secondly — To furnish the model of a well organized and efficiently 
conducted Graded School, in which shall be exemplified the principles 
of education in accordance with their latest and best development. 

It is organized and conducted on a plan entirely similar to that in 
such successful operation in the New Jersey State Normal School, and 
is under the immediate and personal supervision of Professor William 
F. Phelps, Principal of that Institution. This plan is based on the 
fundamental truth that education addresses itself to all the faculties 



44 THE FARNUM PREPARATORY SCHOOL. 

and powers of the human being, and aims at their harmonious develop- 
ment and cultivation. It seeks to develop these powers and faculties 
by calling them into vigorous and healthful exercise, and to qualify the 
pupil by the acquisition and judicious application of useful knowledge, 
for the duties and responsibilities of practical life. Particular attention 
is given to the cultivation of the senses and of the taste. The eye is 
trained to observe, the ear to hear, the voice to speak, and the hand to 
execute, by the study of objects, by a knowledge of the principles and 
practice of the arts of Drawing and Design, of Elocution and of Vocal 
Music. The pen, the pencil, and the crayon are brought into hourly 
requisition by the pupil, and his attainments will at every step be put 
to the test of reproducing in a clear and methodical manner what he 
assumes to know. He will be taught to take nothing on trust, and to 
seek for the principles which lie at the foundation of his studies and 
his practice. 

To secure thoroughness of scholarship, the pupils of each Department 
are called upon to investigate the subject sufficiently to present it in 
the form of a statement, without the suggestive aid afforded by ques- 
tions. The exercises termed Sub-Lectures, or Pupil Lectures, being of 
the highest importance, will be very frequent. 

PLAN OF ORGANIZATION. 

The School is graded as follows : 

I. The Experimental Department. 

II. The Intermediate Department. 

III. The Preparatory Department. 

IV. The Academic Department. 

Experimental Department. — Pupils are received in the Experimental 
Department between the ages of six and twelve years. 

The course of study is as follows : — The Elementary Sounds of the 
English Language, Spelling, Analysis and Definition of Words, Read- 
ing and Elocution, Elementary Composition, Drawing and the Study of 
Objects, Penmanship, G-eography and Map Drawing begun, Primary- 
Mental Arithmetic, Written Arithmetic begun. Elements of English 
G-rammar begun. Moral Lessons and Vocal Music. 

Intermediate Department. — No pupil is admitted into the Interme- 
diate Department under ten years of age, unless found on examination 
to be abundantly qualified for it. The course of study in this Depart- 
ment embraces those of the Experimental in a more advanced stage, 



THE FARNUM PREPARATORY SCHOOL. 45 

viz : — Reading and Elocution continued, Analysis and Definition con- 
tinued, Composition, Descriptive Geography completed. Oral and Writ- 
ten Arithmetic continued, English Grammar continued. Object and 
Map Drawing, Penmanship, Vocal Music. 

Preparatory DeiKirtment. — The object of this Department is to con- 
tinue and complete that course of elementary training which is abso- 
lutely essential to thorough scholarship. It is designed to perfect that 
course of elementary discipline which alone can establish in the mind 
those habits of accuracy and method, and impart to it that degree of 
energy and self-reliance so indispensable to all solid culture. It aims 
to encourage the pupil in the acquisition of a jwicer of rigid analysis 
and of rigorous demonstration in the investigation of whatever subject 
may engage his attention. While here, too, all who contemplate the 
profession of teaching as the occupation of their choice, will have their 
adaptation to that employment subjected to the preliminary test of ac- 
tual experiment and examination, and the probabilities of their success 
or failure will be carefully weighed. This test will determine the ques- 
tion of the candidate's advancement to the Normal School, where the 
special training for his proposed calling is completed, or to the Aca- 
demic Department, where the general culture of his powers is continued 
by application to Higher Studies. The Course of Study in the Pre- 
paratory Department comprehends the completion of the branches 
envimerated in the Intermediate Course, together with such advanced 
studies as may be from time to time assigned. 

DECLARATION. 

Those of the Preparatory Department who intend to teach, are re- 
quired to sign the following declaration and agreement : 

The undersigned having been admitted as pupils in the Preparatory 
Department of the Farnum Preparatory School, hereby declare that it 
is their intention to qualify themselves for the Profession of Teaching, 
and they hereby engage to enter the State Normal School to complete 
the necessary training for that profession, or, in default thereof, they 
agree to engage in the occupation of teaching in the public schools of 
the State for at least one year for each year of their tuition in said 
Preparatory School. 

Academic Department. — In this Department the student pursues all 
those advanced studies usual in the best Institutions of this grade. 
These studies are carried on in the same spirit and with the same strict 



46 THE FARNUM PREPARATORY SCHOOL. 

adherence to the great aiTns and objects of education as characterize the 
Subordinate Departments. The Mathematics are demonstratively stud- 
ied, and, as far as possible, practically applied. Belles-Lettres, the 
Sciences, and the Modern Languages also receive that attention which 
their growing utility demands.

or to continue the course of training in the Normal School as above, 
will be required of candidates admitted on these terms. 

To pupils in the Preparatory Department who do not propose to be- 
come teachers, a tuition fee of twelve dollars per term will be required 
in advance, which also covers the entire expense of books and station- 
ery. 

For the Academic Course, a charge of twenty dollars per term, in 
advance, defrays the whole expense of tuition, use of books, stationery 
and apparatus. 

BUILDINGS AND FURNITURE. 

The School occupies the spacious, convenient and tasteful edifice 
erected by the munificent liberality of Paul Farnum, Esq., in the 
pleasant and healthful borough of Beverly. The building, in all its 
arrangements, furnishings and appointments, is of the first class, and 
admirably adapted to the purposes of a Preparatory School. Its archi- 
tecture is imposing, and its location at once beautiful and convenient. 
The grounds are adorned with choice trees, and will be rendered 
attractive with shrubs and flowers. It is supplied with the best Boston 
furniture, and more than 800 square feet of the first quality Vermont 
Slate, to be used in the place of the ordinary black-boards. Two fine 
Pianos may be enumerated as a part of the apparatus for the cultivation 
of Music.

LOCATION. 

The borough of Beverly is situated on the high banks of the Dela- 
ware, about 15 miles from Philadelphia and 76 miles from the city of 
New York. The Camden and Amboy Railroad passes through part of 
the town, and connects it with all the pi'incipal cities north and south. 
It occupies the most beautiful place to be found on the river, and is so 
widely known for its healthfulness, that it is the resort of large numbers 
during the summer months. 

DISCIPLINE. 

No School can prosper without a perfect state of discipline. Good 
order is the primary condition of all eflFective instruction. The govern- 
ment of the Preparatory School will be firmly and impartially adminis- 
tered, appealing to the conscience and self-respect of the pupil. Prompt 
dismissal will follow immoral acts and evidences of intractableness. 

REGULARITY AND PROMPTNESS OF ATTENDANCE. 

The embarrassing and disorganizing effects of absence and tardiness 
in our schools, constitute the most serious evils with which they have 
to contend. Pupils cannot be taught unless they are present, and they 
cannot be properly taught unless they are constantly present. In the 
Preparatory School, no absence or tardiness is allowed, except in extreme 
cases, of which the Faculty must be the sole judge. Any pupil, by 
absence or tardiness, forfeits his right to a seat in the School, unless 
excused by the Faculty. 

TERMS AND VACATIONS. 

The fourth term will commence on Monday, March 15th, and con- 
tinue twenty-one weeks, with a vacation of one week at the middle of 
the term. 

BOARD. 

Good board can be obtained at a price not exceeding three dollars 
per week. The pupils will often be visited at their homes by members 
of the Faculty, and a kind and watchful care exercised over them at all 
times. A spacious dwelling-house, especially adapted for boarding 
young ladies, has been erected by Mr. Farnum, and placed under the 



48 THE FARNUM PKEPARATORY SCHOOL. 

care and supervision of Madame Clement and her Daughter. French 
will be constantly spoken in the family, and every facility for acquiring 
the language will be afforded. Accommodations will be provided for 
ladies desiring to board with their daughters, or for young ladies wishing 
simply to perfect themselves in the French language. Miss Clement 
has been unusually successful as a teacher of French, and bears testi- 
monials from the highest sources. 

EXAMINATIONS. 

At the close of each term, a general examination will be made of all 
the Departments. To these the public are invited. 

PHYSICAL EDUCATION. 

No system of education can meet the wants of our people, that does 
not " address itself to the whole body and all the parts of human life." 
The health is to be preseiTcd. The hody, as well as the mind, is to be 
trained, developed and strengthened. The severe and long continued 
exercise of the mind, without a corresponding use of the body, is a per- 
petual warfare waged against the powers of life. Hence, regular and 
vigorous exercise in the open air will be required ; and it is hoped that 
special facilities will soon be provided for systematic and thorough 
physical training for all who shall be admitted to the Preparatory 
School. 

VISITATION. 

The Institution will be open to visitors during term time through all 
the regular session houi's. Citizens and strangers are cordially invited 
to visit it at their convenience, and without ceremony. 

GENERAL REMARKS. 

The idea that tJiorougli, systematic, progressive, elementary training, 
is absolutely essential to sound and systematic scholarship and a proper 
preparation for the duties of active life, especially for the Teacher's 
arduous labors, is fundamental, and the programme has been arranged 
accordingly. The Trustees thus seek to accomplish the noble ends 
intended by the generous founder of the School. 

All communications should be addressed to the Resident Principal, 
S. A. FarranD; at Beverly, N. J.
